Fr. Tony Fortman Anniversary of Ordination
July 14
Fr. Anthony Fortman C.PP.S. was ordained on July 14, 2001.
A priest’s anniversary of his ordination is a significant milestone that commemorates the day he dedicated his life to serving God and his community. This occasion honors his personal commitment and spiritual journey and celebrates his invaluable contributions to the parish and the broader church community. Acknowledging this special day can be done in several meaningful ways. Parishioners can organize a special Mass in their honor, followed by a communal gathering or reception to express their gratitude and appreciation. Personal notes, letters, or a commemorative book filled with messages from the congregation can also be heartfelt gestures. Additionally, presenting a token of appreciation, such as a plaque or a framed photograph of a memorable moment from his ministry, can serve as a lasting reminder of the love and support from his community.
